4 Yahweh said to Moses, saying,
5 “Take them, and they will be used to do the work of the tent of the assembly; and you will give them to the Levites, each according to his required service.”
6 So Moses took the utility carts and the cattle, and he gave them to the Levites.
7 Two utility carts and four cattle he gave to the descendants of Gershon according to their required service;
8 and four utility carts and eight cattle he gave to the descendants of Merari according to their required service, under the authority of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
9 But to the descendants of Kohath he did not give anything because the work of the sanctuary they carried upon them on their shoulders.
10 The leaders presented offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day of its anointing, and the leaders presented their offerings before the altar.
